The Joss Supercar is the first Australian built mid-engine supercar. Designed by car enthusiast Matt Thomas it has been in production since 2003.
The Joss has been on display at both the 2004 Melbourne International Motor Show and the Sydney Motor Show, where it seemed to be the main attraction.
The Joss Supercar can be seen in the Xbox 360 video game
PGR3The Design
The Joss was designed with a very unique look, that is very sleak. The front of the car is hard to compare to another car, though the back has been said to resemble somewhat of a Saleen S7.
The car has only one colour, being somewhat close to a sky blue, though the car has been photographed with its production team in white.FeaturesPerformance
